Sound
Design Simplifies Problems for Fabricators and Installers
The
problems caused by woodgrain PVC conservatory roof cappings distorting
in abnormal temperatures is eliminated by Aztec
Conservatory Roof Systems- without any need to stock and fabricate
additional components.
Aztec
Conservatory Roof Systems claims it has eliminated the problems caused
by woodgrain PVC conservatory roof cappings distorting in abnormal temperatures
without any need to stock and fabricate additional components.
The company, a UK producer of PVC/aluminium conservatory roof systems,
claims that whilst several competitors’ customers have been plagued
through hot weather with complaints of cappings twisting and warping,
it has not had one such incident, because of its design.
The Aztec system has always included, as part of its 10 core components,
twin glazing caps. This enables each panel to be glazed individually,
simplifying and accelerating the installation process, and also means
each cap can react independently to temperature exposure. A single capping
fixed across two planes does not have that flexibility.
As the sun moves during the day, the faces of the glazing cap are inevitably
exposed to different heat levels, with one side moving into shadow as
the other moves into the face of the sun. PVC, being a thermoplastic,
reacts to the heat, expanding approximately 80 x 10-6 for every 20°
rise in temperature, and contracting as it cools. Dark surfaces, such
as woodgrain foils, absorb heat, whilst white reflects it, so therefore
dark colours increase in temperature more rapidly.
The combination of material and surface colour in a single capping means
that during hot weather- such as last summer- single woodgrain and brown
PVC cappings have been subjected to accelerated increases in temperature,
leading to bowing and bending and complaints from consumers and fabricators.
Colin Bennett, Aztec managing director, comments, ‘The solution for
some producers has been to quickly develop a new capping, made from aluminium
but including plastic inserts and gaskets to enable it to be fixed in
place. This creates additional stockholding and fabrication issues, and
adds to assembly time. We have always had twin cappings as a core part
of our system, and have not had one distortion issue, as each capping
can react individually to the conditions to which it is exposed and move
accordingly without the variations in temperature across the component
which occur in a single capping and which create the distortion problem
in the first place.’
Aztec Conservatory Roof Systems says it has evolved its product based
on engineering principles, to create roof systems which offer greater
spanning capability (up to 4.5m on the standard range) flexibility in
design and glazing options than some other conservatory roofs, yet with
fewer components.
'Independent tests showed the Aztec system will withstand the most extreme
weather experienced in the UK. Its design also means it is proven to be
more weather- wind, sun,rain and snow- resistant than alternative systems,
with minimal risk of rain penetration.' adds Colin.

Metalmac
Develops New Steel Protection Shield
Metalmac
has developed a new steel protection shield for windows and doors specifically
for the New Build industry.
The company says that the shields provide protection from accidental damage
through adhesion of cement and impact and are also an additional deterrent
against vandalism and opportunistic theft.
Metalmac Shields employ the company's patent pending dual invisible fixing
system which allows the shields to be installed at the same time as the
window/door frames and will stay on until Completion Certificate is sought.
Metalmac Shields allow light penetration, but do not interfere with normal
construction methods and are reusable.

Metal
Technology Develops new Tilt and Turn Window
To
complement its 420 casement window, a new polyamide tilt and turn suite
has been developed by Metal Technology.
Metal Technology is an independent architectural aluminium systems company
offering a wide range of curtain wall, windows, doors, ground floor treatments
and Silverwood, a new timber/aluminium composite window system.
Fully compliant with Document L, the new 520 tilt and turn, polyamide
thermally-broken window has also been value engineered to offer slim slightlines
(from 45mm) whilst minimising the need for expensive glazing options to
achieve stipulated U-values. Glass units of up to 32mm can be incorporated
which can assist with acoustic requirements.
A range of interchangeable sections, vent sizes and choice of single or
dual colour finishes is available. Over 200 Syntha Pulvin or Interpon
D colours are available giving the architect or specifier unlimited choice.
The company says that System 420 window has achieved sales in excess of
30,000 in only 18 months and this has encouraged Metal Technology to further
develop this suite. Early indications of its popularity show that the
520 range will help accelerate this success.
In addition, the company will soon be introducing a new tilt-slide door
which will improve the thermal performance normally associated with traditional
patio doors and make it a suitable purchase for high-rise apartments.

Easy
Fit, Easy Shape, Easy Cleaning - New Design of Cresting and Finial from
Ultraframe
Ultraframe
has refined its manufacturing process to produce the latest cresting and
finial product offering. Ultraframe says that he latest range from the
manufacturer of conservatory systems offers great value and significant
benefits to exceed customer expectations for clean and stylish roof fittings.
The new 2004 Ultraframe finial and cresting products are easy fitting,
feature new shapes and stay cleaner for longer. The new product offerings
are all featured in one value-added package that now comes as standard
on all pre-fabricated Victorian Ultraframe roofs.
Easy fitting, the new design simply clips over the cresting track making
it a swift and effortless installation procedure. Each piece of cresting
also features a male and female end to allow for secure fixation from
wall to finial.
Easy shape, a new Ultraframe tooling process has produced a smoother more
streamlined shape in both the cresting and finial. The designs have been
optimised to facilitate rainwater run-off and eliminate potential dirt
traps.
Easy Cleaning, produced using PVC material both the finial and cresting
stay cleaner longer and require less frequent cleaning.
Called Pikestaff finial and Renaissance cresting; these two new products
will in future be specified on all despatches of Victorian roofs. However,
installers can still opt for the existing choice of three finials on four
crestings, giving Ultraframe customers the ultimate in choice.
'With the new roofline designs customers can be confident in ordering
stylish quality durable roof products that offer added value and unequalled
refinement.' says the company.

Stuga
Flowline is Two Machines in Harmony
The
Stuga Flowline has been in production
for four years now and forty three have been installed throughout the
United Kingdom and Ireland. The Flowline has been constantly improved
throughout this time due to improving technology, improving knowledge
and feed-back from customers.
Stuga says that one important plus for the Flowline design is the fact
that it is effectively two machines working in harmony. The Flowline has
entirely separate cutting and prepping centres with a transfer station
in between that is a real and active buffer between cutting and prepping.
As the prepping content of the windows increases or decreases these ebbs
and flows are smoothed out, meaning that the saw rarely has to wait for
a bar to arrive and the prepping centre does not normally need to wait
for a bar to clear before starting the next one.
To get the maximum output from a cutting and prepping centre it is necessary
for the saw to work continuously as well as the prepping centre. Some
machines have a conflict whereby the prepping centre has to wait for the
last bar to clear the saw before it can finish and this slows the machine
down at this point, thereby reducing output. The Flowline buffer table
takes care of this problem as the bar can move directly out onto the table
without delay. This is also important at the end of a batch because the
Flowline can be loaded for the next batch without delay.
The ‘U’ shaped configuration of the Flowline also reduces the
distance between the infeed and outfeed to almost nothing creating much
better productivity. In line machines have the infeed and outfeed a considerable
distance apart meaning that the operator has to do a lot of walking. The
Flowline also has two full colour monitors meaning that when loading the
loading-list is right in front of the operator at all times, but when
he is actually running the machine he has a second monitor to see exactly
what is going on and to control the machine. Both screens are connected
to PC’s that are networked together for constant inter reaction.
‘V’ and ‘Y’ notching on the Flowline are carried out
before sawing meaning that the saw is not tied up with this process and
as a result there is a much better balance throughout the machine, when
compared with other machines that utilise the main saw blades for ‘V’
and ‘Y’ notching. It is the sawing speed that decides the final
output on modern cutting and prepping centres, as long as the prepping
is efficient, which it should be.
‘The rotary tooling head system on the Flowline gives advantages
in set up due to it’s versatility and this means that the machine
is commissioned in two weeks followed by a one week training period allowing
production to start in three weeks instead of the ten to twelve weeks
of competitive machines. Stuga never has overruns on installation of the
Flowline because of this flexibility together with the fact that Stuga
engineers are there from start to finish of the commissioning and are
never called away to handle emergency breakdowns elsewhere.’ says
the company.
The rotary tooling system also has unseen advantages for the future because
when the time comes to add or change profiles or preparations these changes
can be made quickly and simply with no re-tooling or adaptations ever
required. With the current fast development of profile systems and hardware
it is likely that such upgrades will soon be needed.
All Flowlines are designed to automatically handle pre-gasketted profiles
as standard, so this will not be a problem with these systems whether
introduced currently or later.
The configuration of the Flowline is such that it is only 14.3 meters
long, meaning that it is easily accommodated in most factories. Now available
in left to right as well as right to left layout the Stuga Flowline is
the most versatile cutting and prepping centre in the market place today.

LMC
Group Launches new Triple-Glazed Door
The
LMC Group,
the UK designer, manufacturer and installer of metal and glass engineered
solutions, has launched a new triple glazed dual colour door. The Sheerglaze
technology is a new solution for architects and specifiers in search of
double-glazed doors within a sheer glass façade and features a
a low 'U' value of less than 1.2w/m2¼C.
Sheerglaze has been developed to provide architects and specifiers with
a bespoke solution specifically designed to provide a glass plane that
is uninterrupted by protruding frames.
Sheerglaze doors utilise an aluminium frame, sandwiched between two sheets
of toughened glass. This provides a high degree of rigidity to the door
construction, whilst ensuring that no part of the frame protrudes beyond
the plane of the glass surface. The units are hermetically sealed to provide
excellent thermal and acoustic performance. The perimeter frame is hidden
by a paint band in any RAL colour, which is applied to the inner face
of the glass. The result is a continuously reflective surface with minimal
interruption; making Sheerglaze doors suitable for use when combined with
secret fixed and bolted structural glass systems in facades and in acoustic
partitioning.
Sheerglaze doorframes are designed to be as slim as possible, within the
limits imposed by the client's preferred locking and security systems.
Sliding, pivot, hinged and sliding/folding/stacking Sheerglaze door options
are all available. Sheerglaze doors are made to order to the customer's
required size, the largest to date being 2400mm x 3200mm.
'All Metal UK Sheerglaze installations are completely bespoke and can
be adapted to meet any architectural challenge,' says Rod Milicevic. 'Our
design team will work with clients to develop their ideas and incorporate
any special features or requirements they may have.'

Research
and Development Pays Off for Fabricators and Specifiers
UK
Fasteners
has added a new austenitic bi-metallic screw to its range of quality fasteners
for fabricators and specifiers. ‘We’ve invested time and money
in researching and developing this product to make it better than others
on the market,’ says David Ballinger, Managing Director of UK Fasteners.
‘We’ve used marine grade austenitic to give it greater strength
and corrosion resistance. A unique thread base provides excellent pull
out resistance and a more secure fastening of hardware to reinforced PVCu.
An optimum carbon steel to austenitic stainless steel ratio ensures better
thread formation for the austenitic portion to follow into. The under
head locating collar on the shallow pan allows for a more secure fitting
of friction hinges. We have also made it easier for fabricators and specifiers
by featuring our unique head markings on every screw for easy identification
and colour coding the packaging to reduce the likelihood of mistakes in
fabrication.’

Shepley
Window Systems’
composite door range now features an improved glazing system as well as
new styles. ‘Our composite door has already proved a great success
with our customers,’ says Tim Walker, sales director of Shepley Window
Systems.
‘But the change to glazing cassettes from the clip-in bead system
improves the looks and sightlines further, without the need for corner
caps and bulky components. The new system makes the doors easier and quicker
to install, but also allows us to extend our range and give installers
even more choice. A further benefit of the cassette system over pressed
or pre-glazed is that it allows you to offer a wide range of glazing designs.’

An
externally-glazed security system is now available from Profile
22 to complement the Bubblex pre-applied gasket profiles.
The Safeware Securi-clip, when used with the Bubblex profile, cuts out
the need for double-sided security tape to provide a secure glazing solution
meeting the critieria of BS7950.
The Securi-clip also helps to speed up the manufacturing process as there
is no need to apply glazing seals or security tape to opening light rebates
and glass rebates.
It also keeps the working environment cleaner as there are no gaskets,
excess tape or packaging waste materials to dispose of. Working practices
are cleaner as there’s no need to handle gaskets or double-side tape.
In addition, sealed units can now be set easily without the need for ‘wetting’
double-sided tape.

‘peel clean’ film for a unsullied installation and is guaranteed
for 20 years.
Conservaglass™ Premium also tackles the twin problems of overheating
in the summer and keeping warm in the winter. It minimises the damaging
effects of Ultraviolet light which cause furtniture and fabrics to fade
over time.
Conservaglass™ Classic offers maximum light transmission with
toughened seal units for space, light and luxury for those who don’t
need all of the features of the Optimum and Premium range.
The technical performance of Ultraframe roofing systems means that everyone
can be offered a choice from the Ultraframe Conservaglass™
range for safety, comfort and performance – for all seasons.
